芝加哥永远都在我的心里。...





巅峰诞生了虚伪的拥护者，低谷见证了真正的玫瑰信徒。

今天凌晨的新闻发布会结束后，罗斯第一时间更新自己的推特，发表了自己的自白信。

这是第一次见到罗斯公开在社交媒体上坦露自己的心声。

谢谢芝加哥，纽约 我准备好了！

I’m Ready for New York

Chicago made me who I am. But it’s time for a new chapter.

My phone wasringing and ringing, but I had no idea. It was on silent. I was in the middleof an interview, cameras on me. I couldn’t make this up: I was talking aboutChicago. The city, the basketball scene I came up in. How that city raised me,made me the man I am today.

我的手机铃声不断的响着响着，但我不知道发生了什么。然后突然又安静下来，铃声停止。我当时正处在一个采访中，所有的相机正对着我。我正和他们谈论着芝加哥，谈论这座城市，谈论它的篮球，谈论着这座城市如何让我长大，成为今天的我。

A few minuteslater I peeked at it and saw the notifications—missed calls, text messages, voicemails, allfrom my agent BJ. I called back and he told me: I was about to be traded to theNew York Knicks.

几分钟之后，我偷偷瞥了一眼手机上的消息提示-----许多未接电话，短信，语音邮件，全部都来自我的经纪人BJ。然后我打回去他告诉我，我可能要被交易到纽约尼克斯队了。

“It might happen,” he said. That means it’s going to happen. He wantedme to be mentally prepared.

“有可能会发生”，他说到。 我知道这意味着这一切就即将会发生，他想让我在心理上做好准备。

I had a feelingfor a few weeks that a trade could be in the works. But I didn’t know for sure.There were rumors going around that I could be moved soon, and of course youhear that stuff and try to ignore it. That’s impossible. But I never let itreally sink in.

过去几周的时间里，我有预感可能会有交易正在运作中。但是，我并不确定。有流言说我可能很快就要离开芝加哥了，但是，毫无疑问我会尽量忽略这些交易流言。这怎么可能会发生（离开被交易），我从来都不信这些传言。

The first thing Ithought about was my son PJ. It’s hard enough to find time to see him during theseason even when I’m in Chicago. Now I’ll be in New York, hours away. It’s alot of miles. I know this is part of being an NBA player, though. We’ll find away to make it work. I owe him that.

知道被交易后，跳出我脑海中第一想法，是我的儿子PJ。即使是在芝加哥的时候，我都很难挤出足够的时间和他在一起。而几个小时之后，我接下去将在纽约了。这是很远很远的一段距离，我知道这是职业球员都要面临的事情，但是我会尽量找到方法来和他相处。这是我亏欠他的。

I’m so excited tomove to New York City. I’ve never spent much time there—the most time I’ve beenthere is two or three days, and never really during the summer. Now it’ll be asolid seven months. Chicago’s a big city, but it’s kinda chill, not fast-pacedlike New York. Joakim Noah, who’s like a brother to me, is from Manhattan, andhe’s told me a lot about it. I’m going to soak up as much knowledge about thecity as I possibly can.

对于去纽约我感到很激动，过去我从未有机会在那里逗留太多的时间----最长的一次也就两三天，而且从未在夏天去过，但是接下去我至少要在那里呆7个月。

芝加哥是个大城市，但是芝加哥天气很冷，并不像快节奏的纽约。 诺阿，就像我的兄弟一样，他就是从曼哈顿来的，他跟我谈论过很多关于纽约的东西。我会尽可能的去了解这一座城市。芝加哥成就了今天的我，我将它纹在我的手腕上。我是在英格伍德被我祖母抚养长大的，能够被公牛选中，成为公牛的全明星球员和MVP，帮助球队进入季后赛-----这一切对我来说都是梦想成真，我从不会忘记这一切。无论去到哪里我都会将芝加哥的记忆带在身边，无论是在国内还是世界各地，我会一直带着芝加哥的信念前行  直到永远。

I understand thatthis is a business and the Bulls have their plans, their own ideas with whatdirection they want to go with the team, but I’m gonna use this as motivation.I was with them for eight years and they let me go. There’s no hard feelings,no grudges. They’re trying to do what’s best for the team. I totally understandthat. But I don’t think I would be wrong for using this as motivation.

我理解这是生意，公牛有自己的想法、计划以及他们的建队方向，但是我会把这些用来激励自己。我和他们在一起8年然后他们让我离开了。 我一点都没有厌恶，我对管理层或者在芝加哥的任何人都没有恨意或不满。他们想做出对球队最好的选择，我能理解这点。。但我不觉得把这当成动力有什么错。

After I hung upthe phone with BJ, all sorts of emotions flowed through me. I was shocked.Anxious. I knew there was so much to handle right away, and it was all hittingme at once. Things I need to take care of—business, endorsements, where I’m going to live,who’s coming with me. I want to focus on nothing but basketball. I just want tolet my game speak for itself. My voice will always be loudest on the court.

在我挂掉了BJ的电话后，各种情绪像我涌来，我有点懵了，焦虑不安。我知道接下去有许多事等着我去处理，所有的一切一次全部袭来。我需要考虑我的商业以及代言合同，考虑我接下去住哪里，让谁和我一同去纽约。我只想专注于篮球，只想让我的场上表现说明一切，我说的再多都不如在场上的表现有说服力。

I’m 27 years old—there’s stillso much ahead for me. I really believe this trade is a blessing. After all ofthe emotions passed through me, I started to realize how pumped I am for whatcomes next. I’m going to be playing alongside Carmelo Anthony andKristaps Porzingis. This is an amazing opportunity. I can’t wait.

我现在27岁----我的前方还有许多事情等着我。我真的相信这一次的交易在某种程度上我是幸运的，我开始了解到我接下去面临的环境。我将和安东尼以及波尔津吉斯一起打球，这是一个很不错的机会，我很期待。

I’m ready for NewYork.

纽约，我已经做好准备了。
